Basement - Plumbing

As much as we would have loved to keep the renovations the 1st and 2nd floor only, there was quite a bit that needed to be addressed in the basement. Because we were installing a drain tile on the outside of the house we wanted to make sure we installed a sump pump as well as a new drain on the basement walkout. Both drain tile and walkout drain will flow into the sump pump.


This was the main thing that we did not pass on the plumbing inspection.  This is what the previous owners thought was a good fix. This is the main drain that leaves the house and enters the clay city plumbing.  What they did was run PVC into the clay pipe and in order to have the pvc stay within the clay pipe they POURED CEMENT into the clay pipe. Not cool.
